There a way to fix that, but it's a little harder to explain. It's best to show and explain with picture. Well, I'll try anyway since I don't know when I will be able to take the pics.
There are 2 white plugs where you just unplug it the homelink connector. Unplug the other connector as well and plug them all back but not with their original plug. Think of it like you x crossed the connectors. This will get rid of the Message errors and keep everything work properly. Good luck!

lexus link disable
I found this on just ask by a lexus mechanic. He talks of crisscrossing one set only and leaveing the others disconnected. I looked at wiring diagram and found that their is one plug with only 2 wires yellow and black that is for left speaker and needs to be connected to the other plug that matches the yellow and the black. I connected those only and have a left rear speaker and no annoying lexus link system errorhttp://www.justanswer.com/questions/...us-link-system

Link System Error Message
I was also nervous about crossing the wires (01 LS430 UL), but decided to try it anyway. I found the connections as pictured, and disconnected both sides. I checked the radio operation and found the left rear speaker not working as expected. I then connected the outter male connector (closest to the fender) to the inner female connector. I left the other two disconnected. The left rear speaker works again, and there is no more error message. Everything seems to work fine as is, so I'm going to leave the open connections alone.

Switching connectors
My 2002 LS430 has these connectors but they cannot be switched in that manner. There is a sex problem with the halves. If I cross the connectors they will not mate, they are the same sex. I could connect the upper left to the upper right and the lower left to the lower right. Is this what others have seen in trying to make this mod?

I bought an '02 in January and the prior owner had not had the Lexus Link disconnected. I called the Lexus 800 number and described the issue. They called back in 2 days and authorized the repair for no charge. The dealer performed the removal at no charge. They did not have a new sunglass holder, so I still have the buttons. It is ok, it was nice to get rid of the voice.

Well I disconnected the plug on the left and still got the message then the one on the right and the message went away. I left them both disconnected and everything seems fine, no speaker problems etc.
